Well it has been 28 days with no alcohol. Every day I feel like I am going
to lose my mind. ANXIETY, CRAVINGS, CANT SLEEP, ETC, ETC.


I hope it gets easier. I really don't want to drink anymore.
I am going to the doctor next week and hopefully she can give me
something for my anxiety. Big thanks to all of you. I never would have
made it this far without S.R. Its my 24-7 AA meeting. There have been
several times when i was feeling like just saying F### IT!!!
After reading a few posts I always feel better than i did before.

I have taken the advise of one of you guys and start exercising every day
and that has helped also, but i feel like no matter what i do it is still in the
pit of my stomach trying to break out.


Best of luck to all of you and
Thanks again!!!

The beast likes to rage HARD when it feels it is close to losing its control over you. It sounds dramatic, but it is a dramatic thing. You are so close to being free, and with work, focus, and determination, you can experience a life free of the burden of addiction. Its a great life too, just waiting for you to take it. Stick with it, you wont always feel like this...........I swear.

Metalcut. You are doing the healthiest most positive thing for yourself. Give it time. With time you will start to adjust and feel like your normalizing. I'm glad that you are going to a doctor. Let them know everything that you are going through. ((( hug)))

Oh, and congrats on your sober time!!!

Thanks for the kind words. today was better and then it got worse. I am seriously thinking of switching jobs. I have most of my urges there. every time that I relapsed
it was at work. A lot of long and late hours and allot of them I am by myself. There
Is a convenience store right next to the shop.

My job is extremely stressful and i have drank at work for years. It pays pretty good
but I just don't see myself making it if I stay. I dread going every morning and I feel
like I am running scared when I leave in the evening like i dodged a bullet again.
Like i said it pays well but nothing is worth going back to drinking.

I have only been on SR for a little wile. I will check out the group thread
